GARDENS and estates across Argyll and the Isles are bursting with rhododendron blossom.
The fourth rhododendron garden festival takes place between April 1 and May 31 with more than 90 events nationwide.
The annual festival, launched in 2015, is organised by national garden tourism group Discover Scottish Gardens. It is supported by VisitScotland, Glorious Gardens of Argyll and Bute and Scotland’s Garden Scheme, which has organised open days at private gardens across the country to raise money for a selection of nominated charities.
